How to Make Lenten Apple Cake
- Peel and slice 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with ¾ cup granulated sugar. Gently toss to coat. Let stand for 20 minutes, or until the apples release their juices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add ½ cup vegetable oil (or other allowed oil) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the apples. Gently stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or raisins (optional).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before serving. Dust with powdered sugar (optional).
